Character Details

Bio

There are many orphans in creation. I am one of them. I don't know where I was born, but I started in Nexus along with my older sister. Truthfully, neither of us knew if we were related, but we decided we were and that was that.

Growing up in Nexus, I didn't know how to steal, but I was fast and strong and it was easier to take from those who could. I learned to fight and became good at it, and because of that I was employed by the Guild as an enforcer. My sister was employed as well. As a seamstress they told me. Hard but honest work.

Well of course they lied and of course I found out. I was furious and charged off to rescue her. Killed a lot of people just to get to her. She was held hostage and I was told to surrender. My sister was having none of that and struggled, becoming mortally wounded in the process.

That was when I exalted, bringing the Sun's fury down on them. I didn't just kill them with my bare hands, I crushed them. Sister was still holding onto life when I was finished, and she told me to run in order to save myself. I didn't want to, but she ordered me to and I always listened to my older sister. So I ran, and left her to die alone.

The strong rule the weak, it's a simple fact of life. Since then though, I don't know what strength is. But having my sister deal with what she did, only for her to give her life for mine, I think it starts with being able to care about others. So I'll learn how, and then I'll become stronger.

First Age Bio: In the First Age, Kyrion was exalted in the middle of the Primordial War, serving as a combat medic. He owed a lot of his success to being Dawn Caste, allowing him to lay waste to enemies in his way. At the end of the Primordial War, he denied rule, instead focusing on roaming Creation. He brought medicine and healing to those who needed it and justice to those who deserved it. As the Great Curse took its toll on the Solars, Kyrion despaired and tried to do what he could to mitigate the damage. When the Usurpation came, Kyrion didn't fight, instead quietly giving himself to the Dragon-Blooded.

Appearance

Kyrion is tall and porcelain-skinned, with a well-muscled athletic frame. He wears his jet black hair down to his shoulder blades, with the hair pulled back and through a bone-carved ring, though the shorter bangs are left free. The ring itself features a carved forget-me-not on it. His facial features are softer than most men, giving him a more graceful and delicate appearance. Dark brown eyes calmly regard and assess the world around him. He wears a simple but well-tailored beige cloak, hiding his ornate Orichalcum Lamellar armor underneath, with an ordinary straight sword strapped to his back.

Motivation

Learn compassion for other people

Intimacies

Personality

Kyrion is a cool and confidant man. His stoicism means he isn't moved to displaying emotion easily, and many people notice how impassive he is quite soon. That doesn't detract from him being polite though, but it does mean he speaks in a deliberate and purposeful manner. His movements are infused with that purpose as well, while carrying an uncharacteristically innate grace. People sometimes notice that when it comes to issues of empathy or compassion, Kyrion becomes quite thoughtful, as he takes a moment or two longer than most to come to a decision.
